What speakers for Naim Unity Atom


Looking for speakers to use with a the Naim Unity Atom integrated.

I value micro detail and musicality, especially in the midrange. This is used mainly for home theatre. But I still desire good 2 channel sound. The streamer you know .

Price range would be @ $1,000 new or used.

I prefer something easily acquired in the U.S. Without transcontinental shipping ! 

Thank you & be safe .

For a room that size, with your requirement for detail, were it me on that budget, I’d stick with the smaller stand mounted monitors to start, see if enough bass and if not add a sub or subs later.

I would avoid floor standers if room is upper level suspended plywood floors in that isolating floor standers from floor interactions that muddy the bass and obscure detail in midrange can be a challenge.

A sub or two integrated well would fill in the lowest octave if needed. Auralex subdude platforms are affordable and I would recommend using those with any subs or floor standers if possible in rooms with suspended plywood floors. If floors is foundation level concrete ie very rigid..... likely not needed.

I have ls50s in a decent size family room that is open to kitchen and other rooms on the floor and little ls50s do surprisingly well with the bass there off 60 w/ch Bel Canto c5i integrated, not too far off from Uniti Atom in power.

See my system pics. Good luck and cheers!

Ok , now we are cooking...

I have some homework to do !

Just another note ...my Naim only has @ 40 watts . 

Keys a clicking !!!

Well , those keys were not very fruitful for me .

The new speakers need to be placed close to the wall behind them and have

a fairly efficient rating . They will be sitting on porcelain tile on cement slab .

Boss says no sub allowed !

How about if I up the budget to $ 2,000 ?

Thank you and be safe .

Vandersteen 1Ci new in your choice of end cap veneer with stands are $1,400. they are 90 db and the 8” bass driver plays fairly low for HT use. I have run them well with the Atom, see my vintage room photos. 

A pair of ADS floor standers local might also be just the ticket.

Best to you.
